This is one of Sun Tzu's stragery - If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. Not only applied in battleground but also in every marketing campaign as well as SEO. Thank you for sharing this John. Long live SEO!

@spookseo dude - i gotta ask. You comment on my blog a fair amount, but you are the largest link seller on Fivver. Are you finding that my tactics help with Fivver style link building? Or do you also do non-automated link building as well? This strategy could easily be used for Black Hat, but you seem to read this site regularly, so I had to ask.

Got nothing against blackhats, I used to dabble when it was easy (pre-penguin) I just didn't know they would get any use out of this site :)
